Man gets more than 8 years for TV station attack

TOPEKA, Kansas AP) – A man who attacked several employees at a Topeka television station has been sentenced to eight years and four months in prison.

Fifty-year-old Ray Anthony Miles was sentenced Wednesday for four felony battery charges and two misdemeanors after he attacked four employees of WIBW-TV last May.

Miles broke into the station and assaulted the employees because they refused to report on a problem he was having with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He stabbed, kicked, bit and punched the employees before they were able to subdue him.
